This will download and install Python on your system.

Step 3: Install DPaste

Now that you have Python installed, you can use pip (the Python package manager) to install DPaste. Run the following command in the Terminal:

pip3 install dpaste

This will download and install DPaste on your system. You can now use DPaste to share code snippets with others.

Step 4: Test DPaste

To test that DPaste has been installed correctly, you can run the following command in the Terminal:

dpaste --version

This will display the version number of DPaste that has been installed on your system.
